Armored

By: Mark Greaney

Narrated by: Adam Gold

A novel inspired by number one New York Times best-selling author Mark Greaney’s Audible Original drama, Armored.

Joshua Duffy is a Close Protection Agent—a professional bodyguard— and he's one of the world's elite operatives. That is, he was until his last mission in Lebanon. Against all odds, Josh got his primary out alive, but the cost was high. Josh lost his lower left leg.

There's not much call for an elite bodyguard with such an injury. So, Josh has to support his family working as a mall cop in New Jersey. For a man like Josh, this is purgatory on earth, but miracles can occur even in Paramus.

A lucky run-in with an old comrade promises to get Josh back in the field for one last job. The UN is sending a peace mission into the Sierra Madre mountains in Mexico, an area so dangerous it's known as Espinazo del Diablo—the Devil's Spine. Only a fool would think they could broker peace between the homicidal drug cartels in the region, and only a madman would sign on to keep those fools alive.

Narrator almost ruined this awesome story

The story was great the characters were great but it was hard to get through because how awful the narrator was. Every single word was spoken with so much dramatic inflection it was terrible.

Excellent story

I really liked this book. I hope this series continues. I’m interested in how Mark develops the surviving team and Josh and Nicki. Look forward to the next book.

Great book very exciting and preformed well

Good fast paced read on par with the gray man books I am looking forward to the next book in the series

Awesome story

Great character development and story line. As with all of his stories, Mark Greaney did his research and used correct terminology and jargon.

Amazing story

Duff and all the characters made for an excellent listen. I hope you develop more books around this character. Seems like one of the most realistic characters I’ve heard in this type of novel.

Really good

Very entertaining. Narrator was good as well. I wasn’t sure at first because I’m used to Snyder. Different story line.

Thriller

Mark Greany is a master at not being predictable in all his stories, I never seen or thought about how this story twists and turns through out the book. I lost sleep at night listening to this book and it was worth it.

Love this author.

Love the strong male and female characters. The perseverance of human nature. Can’t wait till the next book.

Great Read

I was not sure about reading a book about a one legged hero, but I did. I was not disappointed in the story, the character, or the narrator. Great story, had me hanging on all the way. I've just downloaded book 2 and can't wait to start. Thanks Mark Greaney, once again. I love you work.

Family

I love that besides Josh’s handicap he was willing to sacrifice so that his family could be death free…
